Guide to Comparative Treatments and articles on the treatment of internalizing disorders
in children.

She was a co-principal investigator of an NIMH-funded study (NIMH-64484-01A1) of therapeutic
process and alliance in the treatment of children with anxiety disorders.
Although she has received certification in cognitive behavioral therapy with youth
from Temple University, she has also received training in family and psychodynamic
approaches. She believes that therapeutic change in youth must be understood from
a developmental perspective and strives to integrate findings from the field of developmental
psychology into her clinical work. In her private practice, she works with youth experiencing
both externalizing and internalizing symptoms but specializes in the treatment of
anxiety and depression.
Dr. Gosch received her BA in 1987 from Grinnell College and her doctorate in clinical psychology in 1997 from Temple University.
